Chapter 2 - Section 2.4 - Figure 2.27 - Effect of an Enzyme on Activation Energy - Page 69: 1

Answer

No. The amount of energy released is the same, with or without enzyme action.

Work Step by Step

An enzyme does not release more energy from a reaction than would be released from the same reaction, if it was uncatalyzed. The enzyme facilitates the initiation of the reaction by lowering the energy of activation of the reaction, and makes it go faster at body temperature.
